The Arizona sentinel., 1887-05-28

lt~as remarked to us the first part of this week byan eastern gentleman, that the Territorial prison of Arizona now had the reputation of being one of the best condue-
 ed prisons in the United States. On the iollo ing day we visited that institution, and from our own observation there. we
 were satisfied that the reputation which it now enjoys is well-earned. Through Mir.
 rhos. Gates, under whose superintendency the prison has attained a position among penal institutions second to none, we were shown over the grounds and through the various departments. Order and neatnes. were everywhere observable, in yard, shop and on grounds. Improvements are still
 icing vigorously prosecuted The eastern approach has been completed and the grade B wide and easy. The road on the west is still being widened, and when completed, will, in connection with the eastern road, |, iorm broad, smooth boulevard or drive vay encircliug the prison walls The pre- :autionary arrangements are perfect, and gre such as would enable the guards to quickly and effsctually quell any attempt It insu5ordinatien. Each guard can in a moment call 2 relief in case of emergency. 3ut from the evident contentment which prevails among the prisoners, on account of
 he uniform kindness show them, and the entire absence of partiality in their treat ment, there seems little cause to fear any slch difficulty. The people of the Terri ory have occasion to be grati6ed at the management which has. called forth such instituted praise from abroad, and any one who may visit our prison must agree with IS in saying that the Superintendent, MT. iatos, has shown himself to be the right n .n in the right place.
